"Man met een hoge hoed, jongen met een hark en een slijpmachine" (Man with a top hat, boy with a rake and a grinding machine) is a pencil drawing created between 1842 and 1868 by Johannes Tavenraat. The artwork, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a top hat and a young boy, one holding a rake and the other standing next to a grinding machine. The loose and gestural style of the drawing suggests Tavenraat's interest in capturing the everyday life of the working class. The artist's ability to depict the subjects in a way that highlights their individuality and their place in the social hierarchy is apparent in this drawing.
